9 out of 10 and I consider myself a "Trekkie" so that's pretty good. I only missed number 9.

7/10. Thought I'd do better on this. One of my favorite episodes. Kirk really fell for Rayna. Don't know why Flint was so heavy-handed with Kirk. The Enterprise came with good intentions with a dying crew. Flint knew he was superior to these visitors.
Flint was as heavy-handed as you'd expect, given his great age. It's a wonder he could resist telling Kirk to "get off my lawn!"
10 out of 10. Good episode, but Kirk should have been more upset over the death of Miramanee on the episode, The Paradise Syndrome over Rayna on this one.
On "The Paradise Syndrome" Spock did a mind meld with Kirk to snap him back to the "present" and he did not forget Miramanee and on "Requiem For Methuselah" Spock did a mind meld to make Kirk forget Rayna.
Both good episodes anyway.

I feel the same way. I was on a roll and was hoping I could ace it, but no such luck.🙄

8/10. Scriptwriter Jerome Bixby's first draft had Flint as having been Jesus, Moses and Pablo Picasso. NBC's Broadcast Standards did not want Jesus or Moses mentioned for fear of public outrage. Picasso was also dropped because he was alive at the time of this episode's first broadcast. According to researcher Joan Pearce, "attributing a fictitious work of art to a living artist can bring legal repercussions."
Rayna Kapec is named for Czechoslovakian writer Karel Capek who first coined the term robot in his classic science-fiction play R.U.R.
Flint's castle was the reused matte painting of the Rigel VII fortress in "The Cage." In the terrific remastered episode an entirely new castle was created.
The undercarriage of Flint's M-4 robot is a reused section of the upper carriage of Nomad from "The Changeling."
In the ST: TNG episode "The Offspring" Lal, an android created by Lt. Cmr. Data, also dies after she is overwhelmed by experience and love.

Spock- Are you a student of history sir?

Flint- I am.........................

You can detect the weariness of his reply.

Flint: "An interesting test of power. Your enormous forces against mine. Who would win ?"

An episode of Voyager had Janeway explaining that Kirk claimed he once met DaVinci.

7/10. I remember that the Robot looked like it was made from a Stainless Steel mixing bowls and an old fashion pressure cooker.
